Automation and control leader features complete
line of dimming and lighting control solutions
for home lighting, as well as a new line of automation
cabinets.
ORLANDO, EH EXPO - Crestron is featuring its
complete line of home lighting control solutions,
as well as its unique home automation cabinets
and mounting plates at Electronic House Expo Spring
2003.
As a leader in high-end whole-house automation
and control technology, Crestron understands that
the proper use and control of home lighting can
transform a home and enhance its owners' lifestyle.
With dimming control fully integrated into a Crestron
Home, moods both subtle and dramatic can be created
at the resident's whim, with the simple touch
of a button. Crestron's full range of dimming
and control modules makes it all possible.
The new variety of Crestron lighting modules allow
dimming of incandescent, magnetic and electronic
low-voltage, and fluorescent fixtures for total
flexibility in lighting design. Crestron offers
the new 8-channel CLX-1DIM8 dimmer and the new
4-channel CLX-1DIM4 dimmer, which run on a 1-20A
circuit. For 2-20A circuits, Crestron has the
new CLX-2DIM2 2-channel dimmer. This range of
options ensures that you'll enjoy the perfect
mood for every room and every activity.
Crestron is also introducing the new 4-channel
CLX-1DELV4 low voltage dimmer for electronic fixtures,
as well as the new CLX-1FLVC4, a 4-channel fluorescent
dimmer with low voltage control.
Crestron Home lighting dimmers are designed for
a variety of circuit configurations and lighting
fixture types to give your lighting designer the
flexibility to choose incandescent, fluorescent
or low voltage fixtures. And, because everything
is controlled by the Crestron processor, there
is no need for a separate lighting controller.
Switches and motor control modules also enhance
the home lighting system, allowing screens and
projectors to descend from the ceiling, and drapes
to open and close. These modules allow on/off
switching that easily handles power surges, as
well as control of motors for screens, drapes,
ceiling fan, projector lifts and more.
The new 4-channel CLX-4HSW4 with a high-inrush
switch operates on 4-20A feeds, while the new
CLX-1MC4 is a 4-channel bi-directional motor controller
that runs on 1-20A feed. Both of these specialized
modules give you the flexibility to incorporate
operation of even non-electronic devices into
your home lighting system.
Crestron's family of home lighting modules includes
the highest quality materials and components with
oversized heat sinks and individual relays in
series with each dimming zone for safety and performance.
Lighting modules include split bobbin transformers
and ground referenced electronics for interface
suppression and lighting suppression networks
- all standard in every module.
Wall-mounted dimmers can now be an extension
of your Crestron Home control. Each dimmer includes
an isolated 2-wire non-polarized Cresnet port.
Dimmers will operate as stand-alone when Cresnet
data is not available and its buttons report to
the Cresnet system and may be used to control
other functions simultaneously. Designer finishes
are available to match virtually any decor.
All dimming and control modules mount efficiently
in Crestron's new automation cabinets. While touchpanels
and keypads grace the living spaces of your home,
Crestron components do the work while tucked discretely
inside Automation Cabinets in the control room.
These multi-purpose cabinets are a universal
solution for wiring custom configurations of home
lighting, control, phone, cable and security systems.
Universal mounting plates allow mounting of any
non-Crestron equipment to the automation cabinet.
Together, they ensure efficient use of space,
effective heat dissipation and neat, professional
wiring.
Crestron's multi-purpose cabinets and mounting
plates allow mounting and wiring of our home lighting
and control systems, as well as phone, cable and
security systems from other manufacturers. The
wide range of cabinet sizes, plus the flexible
mounting holes and knockouts, let the installer
use space efficiently while achieving effective
heat dissipation and a clean, professional look.
Also included are thoughtful details like easy-to-use
labels that clearly identify the electrical circuits,
ensuring confusion-free servicing and upgrades
throughout the lifetime of the house.
All Crestron home lighting control products feature
our D3 Pro programming software to Design, Develop,
and Document lighting systems. Also available
for download are touchpanel template files for
use with the D3 Pro Lighting software.
The Crestron PAC2 control system, now available,
is designed specifically for these automation
cabinets to provide a dedicated microprocessor
for home lighting, or for general control functions
throughout the house. Crestron's home automation
solutions are perfect for central-based systems
as well as distributed and hybrid systems, either
retrofits or new construction.
